Defensive Handgun Courses

Ohio Concealed Carry Course

If you own a defensive handgun, or are planning on purchasing a defensive handgun, the Safety Solutions Academy Ohio Concealed Carry Course is an excellent place for you to begin your defensive handgun instruction. Having a Concealed Handgun License from the State of Ohio has several advantages. The most obvious is the ability to carry a concealed handgun, but it doesn’t stop there. Having a CCW in Ohio simplifies the transportation of handguns in your vehicle and it makes it much easier for you to purchase a firearm exempting you from completing the Federal Form 4473.

All those thing are great, but training with Safety Solutions Academy has more benefits. You will receive top notch training from the most basic of gun safety rules to how to actually use your defensive handgun in your course with Safety Solutions Academy. In our Ohio CCW Course you will learn how to select the best concealed carry handgun, how to carry it safely, securely and comfortably, and how to use it should you face a lethal threat.

Critical Defensive Handgun will not only teach you the skills, but also teach you why these skills are so important, provide the quality repetitions you need to develop those skills and give you the insight so that you can practice the skill after your course has ended.

It doesn’t matter if you are brand new to defensive handguns, have been carrying concealed for years, or even carry a defensive handgun as part of your profession. Critical Defensive Handgun will help you move to the next level of performance with your handgun as the curriculum is specifically designed to allow you to progress at the pace that is right for you.

If you are serious about your safety you know and understand that training is an important way to increase your ability to protect yourself and those that you love. Critical Defensive Handgun is your foundation for that improvement. CDH is available in half day, full day and two day courses so that you can find the right class for you.

Advanced Critical Defensive Handgun

Our Critical Defensive Handgun course will help you to develop the foundational skills you need to defend yourself, however, your training shouldn’t end there. The next step is the APPLICATION of those skills. That is where Safety Solutions Academy’s Advanced Critical Defensive Handgun Course fits in.

Advanced Critical Defensive Handgun will provide you with the opportunity to use the skills you learned in CDH from a variety of circumstances where you may need to defend yourself. You will shoot from standing, kneeling, sitting and from the ground as well as from your vehicle. In addition, you will have the opportunity to deal with both simple and complex malfunctions with both hands, your primary hand only and even your weak hand. You will also deal with other non traditional shooting problems like the need for extreme precision and the need to make hits beyond traditional handgun ranges.

Advanced Critical Defensive Handgun is all about extending the range of circumstances that you can defend yourself or your loved ones from a violent attack with a handgun. This course isn’t for everyone. It can be mentally taxing and physically demanding as we will spend a lot of time moving between standing and positioned on the ground. ACDH also has the prerequisite of attendance at a Safety Solutions Academy Critical Defensive Handgun Course as the Advanced course builds directly on the concepts and principles of the CDH course.

Critical Vehicle Concealed Carry

Your vehicle is a highly valuable, highly mobile asset and as a result it can be a target for theft. Unfortunately, for the untrained thief the easiest time to steal it is when the keys are easily available. This is also unfortunate for you as it means you may be caught in the middle between the desperate criminal and what they want.

Critical Vehicle Concealed Carry addresses a wide variety of skill applications from how to use vehicle systems to avoid threats in the first place, concerns of shooting and moving around vehicles, drawing and firing your gun from inside the vehicle and in some courses shooting through vehicle glass to understand how it can effect your ability to get hits on the threat.

In order to protect yourself in and around your vehicle efficiently you need to understand how to apply your defensive handgun skills to a complex environment. The area around and inside your vehicle presents special challenges that you need to be aware of and understand how to deal with in order to deploy your handgun and stop the threat without putting yourself and those that you love in additional danger.
